[quote][blue]List of Sunan instituted by the Prophet (sws)[/blue]

[purple]When we turn to the living tradition of the Muslim Ummah, we find the
following practices shared by all and commonly believed to have been instituted
by the Holy Prophet (sws) and therefore constitute his Sunnah.[/purple]

[blue]1. To eat and drink with the right hand after saying ‘Bismillah ir Rah@ma#n ir
Rah@i#m’ (In the name of Allah the Beneficent and Merciful). This practice
extends to doing everything that is lawful in Islam. It is meant to remind the
Muslims about the fact that on the Day of Judgment the virtuous would be
given their account of deed in their right hands and would be honored. On the
other hand the non-believers and evildoers would be given their deed account
in their left hands and would be the losers. (Al Inshiqa#q 84 and Al H~aq#qah 69).[/blue]

[purple]2. Greeting each other with assala#m u ‘alaykum and replying to it by wa
‘alaykum assala#m. Muslims are required to nourish good wishes for fellow
Muslims and this etiquette encourages them to evolve and maintain this
relationship in their social contact.[/purple]

[blue]3. Saying ‘Al h@amdu lilla#h’ (All praise be for Allah) when one sneezes, and
replying to it by saying ‘Yarh@amu kum Allah’ (May Allah bless you). Sneeze
relieves us of the tension and pressure and therefore is considered an occasion
of thanks to Allah.[/blue]

[purple]4. Calling Adha#n (call for the five daily prayers) in the right ear of a newborn
baby and Aqa#mah (Call for the beginning of congregation) in his left ear.
This symbolic ritual signifies the entrance of a new member of the Ummah.[/purple]

[blue]5. Tadhkiyah: Slaughtering (Dhibh) animals with Allah u Akbar, in the
prescribed manner, that is by cutting the main blood vessels of the neck to
ensure that all the blood flows out. This is in compliance to the verses of the
Holy Qur’a#n that prohibits taking animal blood because it is akin to the habits
of wild animals.[/blue]
